After the World Cup cheating - Norwegian ski jumping leaders suspended for 18 months

Norwegian ski jumpers Marius Lindvik and Johann Forfang were caught wearing tampered suits and suspended for three months.

Now the leaders - who were directly involved in the World Cup cheating in Trondheim - have been punished by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).

Coach Magnus Brevig, serviceman Adrian Livelten and assistant Thomas Lobben were suspended for 18 months. In addition, the three must each pay a fine of just over 50,000 kronor.

The trio have admitted that they manipulated Lindvik's and Forfang's ski jumping suits ahead of the World Championships by making the suits stiffer.
